THAT, WHEREAS, Borrower desires to obtain a revolving line of credit from Lender:
See Exhibit A attached hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.1. THE NOTE.

In addition, Borrower will execute and deliver financing statements evidencing Lender's security interest. The Loan will be further secured by a Guaranty of Payment (the "Guaranty") from Associated Estates Realty Corporation ("Guarantor" or "AERC") guarantying the payment of the Loan.

Any payment received the Lender after such time shall be considered for all purposes (including the calculation of interest, to the extent permitted by law) as having been made on the Lender's next following business day.
If the date for any payment hereunder falls on a day that is not a business day, then for all purposes of this Agreement the same shall be deemed to have fallen on the next following business day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payments of interest.
1.3 EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay all reasonable and customary costs and expenses of Lender incidental to the Loan. Such costs shall include, but not be limited to, fees and out-of-pocket expenses of Lender's counsel, and title insurance premiums and costs, recording fees, appraisal fees, survey fees, inspection fees, revenue stamps and Note and Mortgage taxes, if any.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall be relieved of all obligations to make further advances under the Note. In such event, however, Lender shall retain the power to make further advances, at Lender's sole option, for the purpose of protecting the Project. Such advances shall be secured by the Mortgage, and the priority of the Mortgage as to such advances shall be the same as to those advances made by Lender before any such failure by Borrower.
4.2. CONDITIONS TO DISBURSEMENT. The following are Lender's conditions to disbursement:
(a) No Event of Default, or to Borrower's actual knowledge, an event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, could become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing, and if the Lender so requests, Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower to that effect.
(b) The representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 shall be true and correct in all material respects as though made on such date.

(e) Any warranty, representation or other statement by or on behalf of Borrower contained in this Agreement or in any instrument furnished in compliance with or in reference to this Agreement is false or misleading in any material respect;
